Hi, I just found this weird mosquito like bug on my bed near a lamp.
My friend advised me to come in here and ask since none of his bug Identification apps seem to work
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/623376477769170954/647237697009745920/IMG_20191122_003053.jpg
This is the bug. It's very small, slightly bigger than a finger nail. I find the abdomen very strange because I've only seen it in wasps
And because I live in rural Portugal I'm worried it could be a dangerous pest
(we are dealing with Asian hornets in the area currently)

I really hope someone can help

I'm sorry for the sudden post and no presentation
And thank you

Of course it is, but not according to my smart phone which corrects spelling the way it wants 😂😂

There are others who can provide a better determination.
